Spain's year-on-year inflation rate rose to 3.6% in July, reaching its highest level in over a year according to definitive data published on Thursday by the National Statistics Institute (INE), exceeding the initial estimate by one tenth. The increase was driven primarily by energy prices.
In response to the rising costs, the Ministry of Economy, Commerce, and Enterprise confirmed on Thursday that the tax reduction on diesel fuel will automatically increase to 20 cents per liter starting in September. This adjustment surpasses the previously planned reduction of 5 cents for that month.
